The choice is not simply “small car or bigger car”. A roadster and an open-top SUV are different propositions. Consider who is travelling, how much luggage you have and what you want from the drive. No body style is automatically best for every Tenerife road.
Two-seat roadster: for two travelling light. The current Mazda MX-5 Miata Cabriolet listing shows two seats and one bag. It may suit a couple with little luggage if the listed capacity matches their actual bags; it cannot serve a group that needs a rear row.
Four-seat cabriolet: an extra row. The Audi A5 Cabriolet and Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet R-Line are listed with four seats and three bags. Compare them when four listed seats matter and you still want an open top. Check the live vehicle cards: seat count alone does not confirm that your particular passengers and suitcases will fit comfortably.
Convertible SUV: a different body style, not an automatic upgrade. The Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4XE is listed in Cabriolet and SUV & 4×4, with five seats and four bags. It may suit a group that needs the fifth listed seat or prefers an SUV body. The labels do not establish access to any road, track or parking area. Check access and rental terms; do not infer off-road permission from the category.
For two people with light bags and a drive-centred holiday, compare the MX-5 with the four-seat cars. For three or four, start with those listings and check luggage. If five listed seats matter, inspect the Wrangler card and verify the fit for every passenger and bag. A coastal day and a multi-stop island outing may make you value different things; no vehicle listing chooses a route for you.
Before booking, recheck seats, bags, transmission, availability and terms. Compare the cabriolet category, Mazda MX-5, Audi A5 and Jeep Wrangler. For seasonal planning, read the best time of year to drive a convertible.
